Pineapple is one of the most delicious tropical fruits that brings us a number of health benefits. It is suitable for weight loss because despite its sweet taste it does not contain many calories.
Its many medicinal effects are mainly due to an enzyme called bromelain.
This enzyme has the ability to drain accumulated body fluids, burn fats, suppress inflammation and accelerate healing processes in the body.
It is also effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases because it reduces the risk of thrombosis.
However it also contains other health-promoting substances. We have previously written about its practically miraculous effects on health in an article titled Neobyčejné léčivé účinky ananasu, which you have probably not yet heard of.
In this article we will focus on 8 more reasons why you should eat pineapple every day.
8 reasons why you should eat pineapple daily
1. Supports digestion
Pineapple contains enzymes that support digestion due to their proteolytic (protein-digesting) effect.
2. Fights cancer
Pineapple contains a number of powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and thus prevent mutations that drive the growth of tumor cells.
Studies have shown that pineapple is especially beneficial in preventing colon and prostate cancer.
Several studies highlight the effect of the enzyme bromelain on dissolving the coatings by which tumors isolate themselves from the body and thus protect themselves from the immune system.
Bromelain dissolves these coatings and the immune system can then attack the “exposed” tumor.
3. Increases fertility
When we eat pineapple, we supply our body with a number of minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial for increasing fertility.
4. Prevents fatigue
If you want to prevent fatigue, start consuming pineapple every day.
It contains manganese — a mineral that prevents cellular damage and is crucial for energy production.
5. Gives the skin an intense glow
Pineapple helps reduce skin redness and inflammation. It supplies the skin with collagen, making it more elastic and smooth.

A cup of pineapple juice daily provides us with 131% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C. Every morning before you go to school or work, slice some pineapple and eat it.
It also provides us with iron and calcium that our body needs.
7. Soothes the scalp
There is a natural homemade hair mask that will help soften and thicken your hair. Mix fresh pineapple juice with olive oil and almond milk.
